Not me, Jon Canter, who has been interviewed by Andrew McGibbon about the experience.

Thanks for the news, DaveH.

Dukey, please earmark one of those DVDs for me. Let me know how much and which secret DAC "dead drop" to use...
(I already have the VHS, but a nice shiny disc would be good too.)

Shouldn't that have been quoting Niklas' reply "between two legs"?

I admit being what you say in that pub. But in fact i'm more often spineless than legless.

The programme website http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00fzblz points to http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b00fzblz which works for me.

Thanks for the link, Dave. I don't recall having heard the bit about Paul Simon. Speaks rather sadly for Simon, but funny nevertheless.

Douglas got to see Simon in the mid 60s when the latter played a gig at Brentwood School. Simon lived in the town, went out with a local girl, and "Homeward Bound" is partly about wanting to get back to Brentwood.

I sent an email to Faber & Faber to get some more informations about this upcoming book. Here is the publisher's answer :

"It is due to be published February 2011. The whole book doesn’t focus on just Douglas Adams; it’s more of a compendium of ‘significant others’ to celebrities."

The book is out now. The Jon Canter / Douglas Adams bit is twenty pages, one of the twelve chapters in the book. It is a bit more fruity than what was broadcast on Radio 4. It is good to have a published source for Canter's interesting stories about Douglas. The book only arrived this week so I have not read any of the other chapters but they look interesting and I probably will sometime.

The book goes by the name I Was Douglas Adams's Flatmate, and the radio programme was I Was Douglas Adams' Flatmate.

Those pesky apostrophe's :wink:
